Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and more particularly, to a tube for controlling flow in an HRSG having inclined tubes for heat exchange.
  • HRSG heat recovery steam generator
  • a heat recovery steam generator is an energy recovery heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream. It produces steam that can be used in a process (cogeneration) or used to drive a steam turbine (combined cycle).
  • Heat recovery steam generators generally comprise four major components - the economizer, the evaporator, the superheater and the water preheater.
  • natural circulation HRSG's contain evaporator heating surface, a drum, as well as the necessary piping to facilitate the appropriate circulation ratio in the evaporator tubes.
  • a once-through HRSG replaces the natural circulation components with once-through evaporator and in doing so offers in-roads to higher plant efficiency and furthermore assists in prolonging the HRSG lifetime in the absence of a thick-walled drum.
  • HRSG once through evaporator heat recovery steam generator
  • the HRSG comprises vertical heating surfaces in the form of a series of vertical parallel flow paths/tubes 104 and 108 (disposed between the duct walls 111) configured to absorb the required heat.
  • a working fluid e.g., water
  • the working fluid is transported to an inlet manifold 105 from a source 106.
  • the working fluid is fed from the inlet manifold 105 to an inlet header 112 and then to a first heat exchanger 104, where it is heated by hot gases from a furnace (not shown) flowing in the horizontal direction.
  • the hot gases heat tube sections 104 and 108 disposed between the duct walls 111.
  • a portion of the heated working fluid is converted to a vapor and the mixture of the liquid and vaporous working fluid is transported to the outlet manifold 103 via the outlet header 113, from where it is transported to a mixer 102, where the vapor and liquid are mixed once again and distributed to a second heat exchanger 108.
  • This separation of the vapor from the liquid working fluid is undesirable as it produces temperature gradients and efforts have to be undertaken to prevent it.
  • the second heat exchanger 108 is used to overcome thermodynamic limitations.
  • the vapor and liquid are then discharged to a collection vessel 109 from which they are then sent to a separator 110, prior to being used in power generation equipment (e.g., a turbine).
  • the use of vertical heating surfaces thus has a number of design limitations
  • a once-through evaporator comprising an inlet manifold; one or more inlet headers in fluid communication with the inlet manifold; one or more tube stacks, where each tube stack comprises one or more inclined evaporator tubes; the one or more tube stacks being in fluid communication with the one or more inlet headers; where the inclined tubes are inclined at an angle of less than 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees to a vertical; one or more outlet headers in fluid communication with one or more tube stacks; and an outlet manifold in fluid communication with the one or more outlet headers.
  • a method comprising discharging a working fluid through a once-through evaporator; where the once- through evaporator comprises an inlet manifold; one or more inlet headers in fluid communication with the inlet manifold; one or more tube stacks, where each tube stack comprises one or more inclined evaporator tubes; the one or more tube stacks being in fluid communication with the one or more inlet headers; where the inclined tubes are inclined at an angle of less than 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees to a vertical; one or more outlet headers in fluid communication with one or more tube stacks; and an outlet manifold in fluid communication with the one or more outlet headers; discharging a hot gas from a furnace or boiler through the once-through evaporator; and transferring heat from the hot gas to the working fluid.

  • Figure 8 is a depiction of a plane section taken within the tube stack that depicts an inline configuration

  • Figure 10 depicts a once-through evaporator having 10 vertically aligned zones or sections that contain tubes through which hot gases can pass to transfer their heat to the working fluid.
  • a heat recovery steam generator that comprises a single heat exchanger or a plurality of heat exchangers whose tubes are arranged to be "non- vertical".
  • HRSG heat recovery steam generator
  • the tubes are inclined at an angle to a vertical.
  • inclined it is implied that the individual tubes are inclined at an angle less than 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees to a vertical line drawn across a tube.
  • the tubes can be horizontal in a first direction and inclined in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.
  • the Figure 2 shows a section of a tube that is employed in a tube stack of the once-through evaporator.
  • the tube stack shows that the tube is inclined to the vertical in two directions. In one direction, it is inclined at an angle of ⁇ 1 to the vertical, while in a second direction it is inclined at angle of ⁇ 2 to the vertical.
  • ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 can vary by up to 90 degrees to the vertical. If the angle of inclination ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are equal to 90 degrees, then the tube is stated to be substantially horizontal. If on the other hand only one angle ⁇ 1 is 90 degrees while the other angle ⁇ 2 is less than 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees, then the tube is said to be horizontal in one direction while being inclined in another direction.
  • both ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are less than 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees, which implies that the tube is inclined in two directions. It is to be noted that by “substantially horizontal” it is implies that the tubes are oriented to be approximately horizontal (i.e., arranged to be parallel to the horizon within +2 degrees). For tubes that are inclined, the angle of inclination ⁇ 1 and/or ⁇ 2 generally vary from about 55 degrees to about 88 degrees with the vertical.
  • the section (or plurality of sections) containing the horizontal tubes is also termed a "once-through evaporator", because when operating in subcritical conditions, the working fluid (e.g., water, ammonia, or the like) is converted into vapor gradually during a single passage through the section from an inlet header to an outlet header. Likewise, for supercritical operation, the supercritical working fluid is heated to a higher temperature during a single passage through the section from the inlet header to the outlet header.
  • the working fluid e.g., water, ammonia, or the like
  • the supercritical working fluid is heated to a higher temperature during a single passage through the section from the inlet header to the outlet header.

  • the Figures 3, 4(A), 4(B) and 10 depicts an exemplary embodiment of a once- through evaporator.
  • the Figure 3 depicts a plurality of vertical tube stacks in a once-through evaporator 200. In one embodiment, the tube stacks are aligned vertically so that each stack is either directly above, directly under, or both directly above and/or directly under another tube stack.
  • the Figure 4(A) depicts one exemplary arrangement of the tubes in a tube stack of a once-through evaporator; while the Figure 4(B) depicts an isometric view of an exemplary arrangement of the tubes in a tube stack of a once-through evaporator;
  • the evaporator 200 comprises an inlet manifold 202, which receives a working fluid from an economizer (not shown) and transports the working fluid to a plurality of inlet headers 204(n), each of which are in fluid communication with vertical tube stacks 210(n) comprising one or more tubes that are substantially horizontal.
  • the fluid is transmitted from the inlet headers 204(n) to the plurality of tube stacks 210(n).
  • 204(n+n'), depicted in the figures are collectively referred to as 204(n).
  • the plurality of tube stacks 210(n), 210(n+l), 210(n+2).... and 210(n+n') are collectively referred to as 210(n) and the plurality of outlet headers 206(n), 206(n+l), 206(n+2) and
  • 206(n+n') are collectively referred to as 206(n).
  • multiple tube stacks 210(n) are therefore respectively vertically aligned between a plurality of inlet headers 204(n) and outlet headers 206(n).
  • Each tube of the tube stack 210(n) is supported in position by a plate 250 (see Figure 4(B)).
  • the working fluid upon traversing the tube stack 210(n) is discharged to the outlet manifold 208 from which it is discharged to the superheater.
  • the inlet manifold 202 and the outlet manifold 208 can be horizontally disposed or vertically disposed depending upon space requirements for the once-through evaporator.
  • the hot gases from a source travel perpendicular to the direction of the flow of the working fluid in the tubes 210.
  • a source e.g., a furnace or boiler
  • the hot gases travel away from the reader into the plane of the paper, or towards the reader from the plane of the paper.
  • the hot gases travel counterflow to the direction of travel of the working fluid in the tube stack. Heat is transferred from the hot gases to the working fluid to increase the temperature of the working fluid and to possibly convert some or all of the working fluid from a liquid to a vapor.

  • ⁇ ' can be an integer value or a fractional value
  • n' can thus be a fractional value such as 1/2, 1/3, and the like.
  • valves and control systems having the reference numeral n' do not actually exist in fractional form, but may be downsized if desired to accommodate the smaller volumes that are handled by the fractional evaporator sections.

  • the heating surface is minimized due to the staggered and counterflow heat transfer mode leading to minimal draft loss and parasitic power.
  • this may lead to high parasitic power loss due to the flow choking requirements and/or the separator water discharge considerations, or both. This is because the pressure drop across the flow choking device can be significant as can the water discharged from the separator.
  • Approximately Horizontal Tube is a tube horizontally orientated in nature.
  • An "Inclined Tube” is a tube in neither a horizontal position or in a vertical position, but dispose at an angle therebetween relative to the inlet header and the outlet header as shown..
  • relative terms such as “lower” or “bottom” and “upper” or “top,” may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another elements as illustrated in the Figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the Figures. For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on “upper” sides of the other elements. The exemplary term “lower,” can therefore, encompasses both an orientation of “lower” and “upper,” depending on the particular orientation of the figure.
  • Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features.
